system tray

On my laptop I'd like to widen the day and date area so that the day and date fit on one line. For instance, for today, I'd like it to display "Friday/09/16/2016." I have made this change in settings, and when I hover the mouse over that area, the display is correct. But because the display area...

After a W10 update a few weeks ago, my task bar became 3 lines high and it became impossible to widen the System Tray area. I have tried various forum suggestions around icon sizing, etc, but nothing helps. There is plenty of room to widen the system tray area, which would have (in the past)...

Hello all. I downloaded what I believe is the Windows 10 installer after clicking the Windows 10 icon in the system tray. After this happened I changed my mind and decided not to install it, so I have not installed Windows 10. My problem is that every time I start Windows Update now I get a...

Okay having a very annoying issue with win10 as of late and its been baffling the heck out of me, my CPU fan without any good reason speeds up every so often in windows 10. It doesnt do it in Linux, I have tried an array of software removals, virus scans, system shutdowns, cleaning dust out my...

Anyone have an idea on how to reduce the system tray icon sizes? I don't mean the icon image but the click/touch targets. The spacing between systray icons are larger than in previous versions of Windows. However, in nearly everyone else's W10 screenshots, I see everyone's systray icons much...

A disaster so far. Installation worked OK Desktop shows (rearranged but still all icons there) There is no Start button at bottom left, and anyway Icons at bottom of screen (taskbar and system tray) don’t work - when the curser moves to them, instead of an arrow it become an “I” and does not...

Is there anyway to add GMail to the System Tray for quick access and phone calls? I want that to remain open at all times even when Chrome is closed.

1. Would open AC & Maintenance would show nothing. Occasionally it would but, most time, nothing, none of the normal, usual info. Had noticed this behavior over the last couple of days. This evening... 2. Asking for Action Centre in Start menu Search produced TWO listings. A faint grey...

Hey, so I was using 7 with actual multiple monitors for ages, but realized 8.1 had better dual monitor support. I don't even need to use other software which is nice. But the second monitors task bar doesn't display the clock, or the system tray or anything, just the start button. And when...

hello, all I received a custom built computer for Christmas almost a year ago, in that I won't be able to name my system specs or hardware, and it was working perfectly fine up until a few weeks. I don't recall installing or uninstalling any important programs but here is an outline of the...

So I have a 4 TB drive mirrored to an identical drive. My question is, if/when a drive fails, how will I be notified? Will something popup in the system tray? Or will I get some error message or what? I assume there is something that happens.. otherwise this software RAID would literally be...

Today when I was doing nothing really at all on my computer I decided to go on speedfan, after I clicked it on my desktop a black screen appeared which looked like my monitor wasn't plugged in (even though it was) and stayed like that for about 5 minutes before I manually shut it down. After I...

I get this message during boot. If I click on "Enter", the boot continues normally. I also have lost the System Tray icon which allows you to disconnect external hardware safely. I've tried the bootrec command but it does nothing to fix the problems.

I have an Epson V300 scanner, which was working fine in Windows 8x64. After upgrading to Windows 8.1, when I click on Epson Scan, I see the Epson splash screen and the Epson icon in my system tray, but the program isn't visible. If I right click on the Epson icon, I see a blank page. If I press...

I don't know about you but when I want to change something in the search bar weather it be in Firefox or Ebay I point my mouse to the position I want to start typing or whatever, and instead of editing the phrase there it highlights the whole thing. I want to turn this highlight option off and...

A problem I've not run into before on XP...I'm using a wireless adapter to connect to my router, therefore I don't need a hard-wired connection at this time. Therefore I have the ethernet network disabled in the Device Manager, and the Notification Icons set to always hide the one for LAN, but...

Some time ago I tried the bbLean shell for Windows: Here's my bbLean desktop: Link Removed I think it's a nice shell replacement but I still prefer using the original Windows 7 shell. When I switched back to the original shell I noticed that some of the system tray boxes don't have the border...
